Message: [QUOTE="Delmar, post: 2124700, member: 3944"] Terrible call. According to the rule book, it is an intentional foul, but the call is rarely made. It's like the neighborhood call at second base on double plays. To make that call with the outcome in the balance takes the game away from the players --exactly what referees shouldn't do. My guess is that the ref originally thought that the push was enough to knock over the opposing player. They should have caught the unintentional trip unrelated to the foul when they reviewed the play, and the acting job as the guy went down. [/QUOTE]
